We love nutrient density okaaaaaaay #dietitiansofinstagram

WHY THIS WORKS 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 I call this the PLATE METHOD 🍽️ It’s a simple way to build balanced meals that include the nutrients your body actually needs throughout the day! ✨ Carbs = energy Fuel for your brain, muscles, workouts, and daily life ✨ Protein = building + repair Supports muscle, metabolism, and helps keep you full ✨ Fats = hormones + satisfaction Adds flavor, helps you feel satisfied, and supports hormone & brain health ✨ Micronutrients = overall health support Vitamins & minerals that support everything from immunity to energy levels ✨ Fiber = digestion + fullness Helps keep you full, supports gut health, and promotes more stable blood sugar When you include a mix of carbs, protein, fats + fiber at meals… ✔️ Meals are more filling ✔️ Energy stays more steady (less crashes) ✔️ Blood sugar is more balanced ✔️ You get more nutrients to support overall health ✨Follow @nourishment.nutrition for simple & nourishing recipes & meal ideas! #balancedmeals #nutritiontips #dietitiansofinstagram #healthymeals #nutritionists

‼️Stop eating “healthy” on autopilot 👀 This isn’t about forcing anyone to eat a specific food. It’s simply about awareness. If you’re aiming for a particular nutrient, some foods naturally provide more per serving than others. That’s it. No fear. No rules. No “must eat this.” Your preferences,budget,allergies,culture….all matter. This is just a smarter way to compare options. For medical conditions or significant dietary changes, consult a doctor or a registered dietitian. Eat what works for you. Just know your upgrades. 💚 #healthylifestyle #healthtips #skin #diet #food

Nutrition science is ever-evolving as we continue to research and learn more. But above all, it has to keep in mind how to better the health of the general population in realistic, sustainable ways. Not only is this new pyramid flawed and contradictory, but it’s also difficult to conceptualize and doesn’t take into account issues of food access or affordability. Food is NOT as simple as just “eat real food!” Enjoyment and access are major aspects too. I’d love to know your thoughts! 👇🏼

Stop worrying about protein and focus on fibre. If you’re eating a diverse diet with sufficient energy, you’re likely to be getting enough protein already. On the hand, over 90% of us in the US and UK are not hitting the recommended 30g of fibre per day. The lack of fibre in our modern diets is thought to be a driver of human gut microbiome depletion and an associated increase in disease (PMID: 26762459, 33727392) Bu that’s not all, studies have linked eating more fibre with a reduction in your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease and multiple cancers (PMID: 30638909) The great news is that there are plenty of high fibre foods that also pack in the protein including: Green Lentils - 24g protein and 20g fibre per 100g uncooked Kidney beans - 22g protein and 16g fibre per 100g uncooked Black beans - 22g protein and 15.5g fibre per 100g uncooked Bulgur wheat - 12g protein and 12g fibre per 100g uncooked Peas - 7g protein and 4.5g fibre per 100g So unless you have a specific need for a high protein diet i.e. if you’re an athlete, you’re elderly or you’re following a vegan diet, you probably don’t need to worry about protein. Focussing on eating enough fibre will not only mean you’re supporting your gut health but more than likely getting enough protein in as well.

how to balance ALL your plates 💚 (via: @nicolinanunes) DEFICIT weight and fat loss & SURPLUS weight and muscle gain 🥑 - protein must be high in both, essential for muscle growth and repair. Aim to include high-quality protein sources like lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu, and dairy products - opt for complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, potatoes, fruits, and vegetables. These will help sustain energy levels and support muscle recovery - healthy fats, important for hormone production and overall health. Use avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil. You can adjust the amount on a surplus slightly to accommodate more carbs - vegetables in a deficit are one of the most important keys to add volume and fullness without adding many calories. However, in surplus, in a slightly smaller portion, they are also essential to help support digestion and overall health Follow @calories.tips for delicious healthy recipes! ✨ #thatgirl #meal #mealplan #mealprep #mealprepsunday #meals #recipe #healthyliving #healthyhabits #healthymind #healthyfood #motivation #inspiration #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #balancedplate #healthy #healthyfood #balancedplate #howtomakeaplate #fitnesstips #nutrition #learnonreels #reels #nutritionreels #fitnessreels #nutritiontips

What a healthy meal actually looks like… according to the updated dietary guidelines👇🏽 ✅ Steak for complete protein and minerals ✅ Fluffy scrambled eggs with a little cottage cheese + Parmigiano Reggiano for extra protein and calcium ✅ Avocado on the side ✅ A pinch of @redmondrealsalt ✅ Homemade sourdough. And a simple bowl on the side: ✅ Raw Greek yogurt from our farm, wild blueberries, @purely_elizabeth, and almond nut butter No ultra-processed foods. No fear of saturated fat. No weird substitutes pretending to be real food. Just whole, nutrient-dense foods that humans have thrived on for generations 🤌🏽 This is what “balanced” actually looks like.
